Where To Find A Conservative Girlfriend.

Go hang out at one of those crisis pregnancy centers. You can help save some preborn babies and some fallen women all at the same time!

Didn't read all of this, but OP, there are plenty of women who fit your description. Republican in the conventional sense of the word (not pro-Trump), pro-life, but pro-gay marriage, sensitive to racial issues, etc.

I live in No. Va, in Arlington, and I can't assume people I meet are Democrats or pro-choice, though I can and DO assume they are socially liberal in terms of gay rights and racial issues (because I think everyone should be!).

I've met women like you and they feel similarly closeted. And, in fact, all of the women I can think of right now have Catholic backgrounds! I think that has to be your focal point. Catholics can be pretty socially liberal but still remain strongly pro-life.

Catholics can be pretty socially liberal but still remain strongly pro-life.

PEOPLE can be pretty socially liberal but still remain strongly pro-life.

OP said that he hates church, so this is a no go. Otherwise, I agree that there would be plenty of women in the DC metro area who fit his criteria. But most practicing Christians aren't going to be looking to pair up with a guy who's anti-church.

Go to the public events for more conservative think tanks (EPPC, AEI, RStreet, Cato, etc.); lots of young people at those events.

OP, conservative and Republican are not always the same thing. Does she absolutely need to be a registered Republican? Or being level-headed and intelligent is enough? As in not hating men as a matter of principle, not wearing her pussy hat around the house, and not being a card-carrying member of ACLU? LOL

Hey, that's what I said.

+1 . Skip Heritage Foundation but AEI would probably be the right one. Might try events at Bipartisan Policy Center (something free market oriented). Might want to re-think church...you might find one that is more appealing than what you've tried. Maybe try spending time in VA. (BTW no rifles for civilians? I would recommend you stay away from hunt clubs. LOL )

When you get older and have kids, deal with some of life's biggest challenges, it's easier to see it's not about political issues as much as it is about other things...hard to explain in a forum, but I wouldn't see party affiliation as a hindrance. I'm guessing you mean old fashioned values or what people call midwest values? Not so much political as it is about how you handle big life decisions and priorities.

There are a LOT of republican women here, also a lot of women with various political/social views that are just looking to date a good guy.

A good guy who has different political views isn't necessarily a dealbreaker. You'll have fun dating in DC. Just go for it.

Y'all are just hating on OP since he came here asking for advice. I, if I was dating, would also want someone who agreed with me on many issues.

But OP... I don't know why this is hard? Go to events hosted by orgs like Cato or Heritage -- there are tons. Look for the better-dressed women at bars on the Hill, if they're white, they're probably republicans (sorry Dems!) In any case, you'll learn pretty quickly who they work for. Go on tinder and make one of your photos (do you get multiple photos in tinder?) have you wearing a Romney shirt or something. Hang out in Georgetown or Clarendon. Don't worry about whether the first people you meet are men or women -- I think it's much easier to find dating partners once you're in a social circle and start going to events and parties and such, so make guy friends first and then you'll get introduced to their single girlfriends.

Hang out in European and Lat Am circles, like embassies, the world bank IMF...,

Most people there are nicer, more beautiful, better educated and more conservative than the crazy US lefties taking over the US "Democratic" party...

I think you need to revisit this. DC is a very liberal town, and a lot of people without strong political views just sort of adopt liberal positions to blend in. Women who are explicitly conservative in this environment will almost all be pretty religious. Focus on finding someone open-minded and generally sensible, and her political views will almost certainly drift right once you are married and have children, save for a few hot-button issues.

I disagree with every part of this except for the "DC is a very liberal town" part.
